Johan van der Keuken

Moving Pictures

When he died in January 2001, Johan van der Keuken enjoyed international fame as an unconventional documentary-film maker from the school of Joris Ivens. But his writings on these subjects are just as important and revealing as his films and photographs. Van der Keuken was in the best possible position to know how practical circumstances help to shape a film, and, as a writer, he had the gift of putting that into words.
